(Photo by C.M. Denmon) Gordon Insurance celebrates 50th year in Back Mountain The Gordon Insurance Agency was begun by its founder, C. Wayne Gordon in 1939 when the present Nationwide Insurance Company was known as Farm Bureau Insurance specializing mainly in auto, fire and life insur- ance. The original agency was oper- ated out of the family residence on the corner of E. Center Street and Shagbark Drive in Shavertown until a small used car lot office was rented in 1946 located on the present site of the Rea & Derick drug store in Dallas. The old office used at that time has historical significance since it was the top story of the two story trolley sta- tion. The top was cut off and sold toJdim Oliver, who operated a used car lot. Wayne Gordon later pur- chased the building and moved to the corner location North Memo- rial Highway and E. Franklin St. in Sahvertown in 1948. There business grew and the .- Mom & Pop insurance agency was ' joined by Wayne's daughter Alice, and son Charles in 1958 and building additions were put on when the office became too small. Wayne retired in 1969. The business has been contin- ued by Charlie and has seen steady growth to the point where addi- tional space requirements neces- sitated purchase of the former Katyl building across the corner and development of larger and more extensive offices now known as Gordon Business Center. The building also houses in addition to the Gordon Insurance Agency offices, D'S Bridal, Lynnes Lingerie, and soon to come, Back Mountain Golf Pro Shop. 1989 marks Gordon's 50th year of serv- ice to the community with a much expanded line of insurance serv- ices from those available in the 40's. The Gordon Insurance Agency has been a major writer for Na- tionwide Insurance Companies and its predecessor from its in- ception and Wayne and Charlie have achieved many company awards and recognitions. The agency offers a wide range of financial products and employs three account service representa- tives to service insurance contracts and provide assistance in handling claims. ; 3 Months 6 Months 9 Months 1 Year 2 Years Backed by the full Faith and Credit of the U.S. Government up to $100,000 *Subject to availability. * No commision charged : BOB OSTROWSKI 11/2 Years - Senior Vice President - Investments 8.10% 8.10% 8.00% 8.10% 8.17% 8.10% 826-6006 Prudential-Bache !

Bach and the jazz of George Shearing will mingle in a guitar recital, tobe presented at noon on Nov. 1 at College Misericordia’s Art Gallery in Regina Hall. The soloist will be Richard Metzger, a guitarist who has writ- ten and performed for local the- atre productions, documentaries and radio programs. Metzger's program will include music of Bach, John Dowland, and jazz standards arranged by Metzger for solo guitar. The works by Bach and Dow- land are mainly dance music from the early 18th and late 16th cen- turies. At that time, those works frequently were performed on the lute. The jazz included in the pro- gram will cover tunes from the swing era to modal tunes of the sixties. Metzger offers his own variations on melodies by com- posers such as Billy Strayhorn, George Shearing, Wane Shorter and Michel LeGrand.
